Aysun Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) "[i][url="http://www.amazon.com/Chalice-Robin-McKinley/dp/0441018742/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274984821&sr=8-2"]Chalice[/url][/i]" by Robin McKinley. I'd highly suggest her work, especially this new one. Her stories are very subtle, and often days after reading it, you'll suddenly be somewhere completely random and have an epiphany of some sort about a story element. Perhaps it is very 'MD' in that sense. Edited May 27, 2010 by Aysun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarquinus Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 [i]To Say Nothing of the Dog[/i], Connie Willis. Her humor is understated and dry, but she is very, very funny. Fans of Douglas Adams might find a lot to like here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amoran Kalamanira Kol Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Divine Misdemeanors by Laurell K. Hamilton. Her writing style is similar to that of Anne Rice and Kelley Armstrong but the subject matter she chooses may not be suited for everyone. Either way she produces some very interesting books.

Kafuuka Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 [quote name='Totenkopf' date='05 August 2010 - 03:32 PM' timestamp='1281015152' post='65143'] lol in Romania we call Coelho "literatura de aprozar", which would translate to "greengrocer's literature", but lose some of the humour in translation - the idea being that they should sell Coelho at greengrocers, since only housewives read his books [/quote] I guess that is the equivalent of the dutch term 'stationsroman' or 'railway station novel'? - A light novel without literary ambition, strictly for entertainment, usually romantic and/or adventurous, often chosen as a pass-time by travelers. I'll admit you can read Coelho's 'The Alchemist' strictly for entertainment; it reads very quickly and is very cheerful. The message might be a simple one, it is nonetheless a valid one. Certainly in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowseeker Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 You need...a walkthrough for zelda game? Shame. Something I haven't seen yet..I don't think anyone will mention either, because I think it is a german book. Maerchenmond. By Hohlbein. I could list quite a few more, but I admit the Askir series got me hooked right now, by Richard Schwartz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarquinus Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) It's more surreal. I liked it more than [i]At Swim-Two-Birds[/i], which was over my head in a lot of places (though damned funny). [i]Third Policeman[/i] is strange and cerebral, but equally humorous.

Darigan Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 My friends bought me a couple of books while I was living out in California and they are pretty much the only books I have access to at the moment Death of a Dissident, The poisoning of Alexander Litvinko and the return of the KGB-by Alex Goldfarb The Secret Man, The story of Watergate's deep throat-by Bob Woodward. I prefer dissident more for some reason but anyone interested in conspiracy theories or political intrigue should check them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
